Twin Visitations

We all have the sense somehow or other that our departed twins are around us. Lately I’ve been hearing a lot about womb twin survivors and twinless twins having dreams featuring their twin where the feelings are so real it is as though they really did experience the content of the dream. They remember vividly having contact with their twin and they wake up with chilling, overwhelming feeling that they actually visited with their twin. One dream involved a womb twin survivor being told by an authority figure that the holographic image on the screen was indeed her twin, that her twin was real and this person should never listen to anyone who says any different. How validating! (this dream was had after achieving peace from the womb twin healing path, following years of misdiagnoses and mistreatment including hospitalization and shock treatments) Another dream had by a twinless twin ten years after the death of her identical twin was so real, her twin whispered into her ear “Pray for me because I can’t” She woke up feeling the dream was so real, her twin was pleading with her to be her vehicle because she no longer had a body. (Coincidentally, several years ago this same person reported receiving her twins' memories after she died. Meaning, she'd be doing dishes then suddenly recall going down the stairs to talk to her daughter, only she was in her twins' body having a conversation with her niece as if she'd had it herself. She distinctly felt as though she were reliving a memory of her twins, of which she never actually experienced herself until now). I once had a similar experience of twin visitation while I was awake. Suddenly, I could feel my twin next to me, to my left, for the first time ever. I turned to face her and could feel her spirit face to face with mine. It was so overwhelming, intimidating, omnipotent that I gasped with tears in my eyes while trying to stay present to experience this precious moment I had yearned for and remembered from the womb. It was a quick moment of visitation which only happened once and I know with every cell of my being that it was the presence of my twin who died at birth. These are not twin fantasies of wanting to be together, these are episodes where the distinct energy of the lost being is sensed by the surviving twin, and a new experience happens in the here and now. Another phenomena happens where you play out your twin/womb story via dreams symbolically. In these, the twin can show up in many forms so you cannot be too literal and must sense the energy behind the symbol. In other words, your twin may show up in a various guises (which can morph) but you know it’s them, it’s just the packaging they choose to communicate to you what is needed. And it’s not just our womb mates that visit for night time dreams, it’s the dynamics of our womb story. For months I have had travel dreams where I’m with 1, 2 or 3 people (I’m a quadruplet survivor so this resort is our womb story) and I’m always forgetting that breakfast is included! Every night for months I dreamt I was in this hotel reminding myself to get the free breakfast or on checking out I regret I never had the breakfast. In reality, I have a hard time eating breakfast and I feel it is an imprint from my mother/womb/birth that I have struggled with for years to understand. The only conclusion I have arrived at just now in the process of writing this piece, has finally made the dreams go away and it is because I became aware of this: my mother’s breakfast growing up was a cigarette, cup of instant coffee and glazed donut. This probably jeopardized our accidental/unknown pregnancy in the beginning which may have caused the demise of my twin (as well as the two we lost very early) thus I dream for both of us: my needing to remind myself to eat breakfast as a living person on earth, and her regret that she didn’t get any breakfast but must leave without it. The breakfast dreams stopped but I am still traveling, sometimes to the same place, in my dreams - this time me + 1 stay and 2 others go (mirroring my womb story of me +1 born, 2 lost early).
